If it really mattered to me that each experience that I had was recorded in this blog, well, the past couple weeks would set me back a fair bit. Here’s what it looks like from the inside of the nutshell. packed in NDG, ate at Au Pied du Cochon, bought out our lease, loaded the … [Read more…]
I had such a wonderful time tonight. Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montreal put on a free performance of Minus One in Parc Lafontaine.
